Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An English man living in west Cork was last night being questioned in Cork over the killing of Sophie Toscan du Plantier, 38, the wife of a French film producer Daniel Toscan du Plantier, in December 1996.
Mrs du Plantier was apparently killed when a concrete block was dropped on her head crushing her skull, two days after she arrived from France to spend Christmas at the Du Plantiers' holiday home near Goleen in west Cork, an area she had visited since her teens. Her body was found the following morning lying in the gateway to her home by elderly neighbours. A file was sent to the Irish Director of Prosecutions after gardai last February interviewed a man with a house near the Du Plantiers' holiday home, but no charge was brought at that time.
